Do political parties give Canadian parliamentarians enough freedom to do their jobs? Award-winning author Alex Marland’s new book, Whipped: Party Discipline in Canada, takes an immersive look at the hidden world of party discipline, message control, and power. At this exclusive Samara Centre book launch, Alex will be joined in conversation by Megan Leslie, the widely respected former Member of Parliament.
